Eclipse – Armageddonize

Ok, here comes the first WHAT THE FUCK!!??! of 2015 – and probably the biggest one as well. Eclipse are a Swedish melodic rock / AOR band that has, at least how it feels, been around forever. Actually, they started way back in 1999, when garbage like nu-metal ruled the air waves of metal and has since then released six albums, including this one and of which one, Are You Ready To Rock (2008) was re-released last year with four new tracks. And here’s me, a guy that loves the brand of rock that Eclipse plays, but haven’t given them the time of day ever. Why? Yeah, well, that beats the hell out of me as well. Also, main song writer, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Erik Mårtensson is very much involved in other projects that I really dig, such as W.E.T., Age-Sten Nilsen’s Ammunition and he had songs on killer records by Frontiers (record company) projects like First Signal (featuring Harry Hess of Harem Scarem) and Revolution Saints.
